Right I do not need to do the drain. But since the downspout drain is close I figured why not. Less water less mud and weeds. Once I get all the parts, I will take pictures and you experts can let me know how I did if you wish. It is very helpful to have people who do this work professionally who are willing to help the layman.

Yes I opened the manuals. Min 12 " above grade. Plus air gap between overflow to drain. Luckily I have a downspout drain right around the corner. So I will dig down to provide a link to that drain. The valves I can place below grade as well as the EZ Flow. I think I have enough room for the three valves and the EZ Flow down in the pit. I am forgoing the mister idea. Oh and thx re the sprinkler valve.

Once again you came through and actually we are on the same plain. I am looking at Rainbird. I have the Drip valves selected. Just checking out the sprinker valve. And I will not put a filter in as you suggest. Water here in San Diego is hard but not dirty. I rarely need to clean any traps or faucet diffusers. So I will be placing my order soon. I wish the area was wider. None of the cover fake rocks will fit unless I trim the back off. I might be able to get everything below ground level if I trench a bit more. Any thoughts re the RPZ being below ground level. Seems to me the design allows for this. So I am not a royal pain I will also do some research on this.

Thx for the reply. Very helpful. I did make one error. Supply is 1 ". The zone to the slope is 1" , but I know it is reduced to 3/4 on the slope. The back drip is 3/4 right from the valve. The front is 1" . So I will go 3/4 valves for the drip and to keep pressure up on the slope I will go with a 1 " valve. Any thoughts on the primary filter. Do I need it?
